White Bone Monkey King

Evening time.

The cold wind is biting and the branches are covered with ice.

At the time of shift change in the lower office, Fatty Li rushed through several halls.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, I just heard from my brothers that someone from the Tianshi Mansion sent a letter. What are the people from the Tianshi Mansion looking for you to do at this time? Reminisce about the old 'Jin-Luo friendship'?"

Fatty Li stood in front of the stove, warming himself by the fire with the Peacock Buddha Mother.

The Peacock Buddha Mother moved away in disgust, took the mat futon in her mouth, changed to a barbecue and continued to lie down and warm herself up by the fire.

Jin An: "I plan to invite me to go to the Taoist Yellow Courtyard together."

Fatty Li looked envious.

It's a pity that this trip is a master game, and he, a small criminal investigation department, cannot participate.

"Why did Tianshi Mansion suddenly think of inviting you, Taoist Priest Jin An, to go with him? Could it be related to that incident?" Fatty Li frowned.

"Fat Li, what are you referring to?" Jin An put down the case file in his hand and looked up.

Fatty Li first looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "I heard from my brothers in the palace that in the past few days, ministers from the DPRK and the Central Government have come into the palace every day to say..."

Fatty Li stopped talking but looked at Jin An.

Jin An laughed angrily: "Fat Li, you have always been quick to talk to others. When did you become such a bitch? If you have anything to say, please say it quickly."

Fatty Li frowned and said, "The ministers all say that Taoist Master Jin'an has great achievements, but the people only remember you as Taoist Jin'an, but they don't remember who gave you peace and prosperity when you were born at the feet of the emperor."

"They also said that folk rumors are spreading. Recently, people always say that the Five Zang Taoist Temple is more lively than in front of the imperial city. Envoys from several countries are rushing to visit you, Taoist Priest Jin'an. They also say that the envoy to Kang Dingguo is a lie and they want to visit you, the best martial arts master in the world. Immortals are real.”

"Just because of this matter?" Jin An laughed it off. As the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department and a master of Shinto, these rumors had already reached his ears.

When Fatty Li saw Jin An's tepid look, he raised his voice and said anxiously: "Taoist Master Jin An, aren't you worried at all? Since ancient times, the most taboo thing among emperors is the words 'higher merits than master'."

In the second half of the sentence, Fatty Li carefully lowered his voice.

There was one thing that Fatty Li didn't say in his heart: Since ancient times, those who have achieved great success have never had a good ending.

Jin An still had a tepid expression and asked with a smile: "Fat Li, do you think why I agreed to Commander Zhang's visit to Beijing in the first place? Was it because of power or money?"

Fatty Li shook his head firmly: "Taoist Master Jin An, you are not that kind of person."

Jin An smiled and said, "Well, since I have nothing to miss, why should I worry? Why should you worry?"

Fatty Li mustered up the courage and said what he had been holding back for a long time: "Taoist Master Jin An, are you leaving?"

"That day at the Five Zang Taoist Temple, I heard you say that you wanted to take the Five Zang Taoist Temple with you on your journey to the West again. I had this hunch in my heart."

"It turns out that Fatty Li, you have made such a big circle because you have other intentions." Jin An gave Fatty Li a meaningful look.

After saying this, he stood up from the desk and came to the door of the hall. He looked at the dark cloudy sky with the cold wind blowing, and the Taoist robes rustled in the wind.

After a moment of silence, Jin An's voice came: "Yes, I will leave after I finish everything here."

Jin An's voice carried a kind of emptiness, lingering low in the vast world outside the hall, and seemed to have other meanings in it.

"There were many people that day, and I didn't want you to think wildly, so I didn't say these words."

Fatty Li's depressed voice came from behind Jin An: "Taoist Master Jin An, you are very capable. The sky is high and the sea is vast, so you can show your great ambitions. In fact, I have known for a long time that the capital city cannot retain you, Taoist Jin An, but I didn't expect this day." It will come so early."

Jin An walked back to the hall, smiled and patted Fatty Li's thick arm: "Everything must have a beginning and an end. There are still many unsolved things in the capital, such as the bone collection case, the Guimo Mountain case, the Imperial Master case, etc. After all these are settled, there will be It’s been a while.”

Fatty Li nodded heavily.

"And it's not like I will never come back. Kangding Kingdom has always been my place of roots. There are many old friends who remember me here. Wu Zang Taoist Temple and Uncle Yuyangzi are both in Kangding Kingdom."

After being comforted by Jin An, Fatty Li finally felt better from his low mood.

"The Tianshi Mansion has never wanted the Five Zang Taoist Temple to get involved in the Taoist Huangting interior location. This time, at this sensitive time, I suddenly invite you to explore the Taoist Huangting interior location... Is it possible that there is a bad motive?" Li After the fat man regained his composure, he got down to business and became concerned about Jin An's personal safety.

Regarding Fatty Li's worries, Jin An laughed: "Fatty Li, you have forgotten that the Grand Elder of the Dashi Kingdom and the Grand Hierarch of the Persian Kingdom are also invited. They have never refused or agreed."

"and……"

Jin An's words came to an end and were profound.

Fatty Li's eyes lit up: "I almost forgot about the two super master disciples newly recruited by Taoist Master Jin'an. I always thought they had rejected them."

"If the Tianshi Mansion invites the Wu Zang Taoist Temple, the Jade Capital Golden Tower and the Zhenguo Temple should also be indispensable. It would be even more reassuring if Master Qing Xi is accompanying him."

Jin An answered firmly: "Yes."

"After I entered the Taoist Yellow Courtyard this time, there is one more thing that I need you to pay more attention to, Fatty Li, and don't let up and continue investigating."

"Fat Li, do you still remember that every time we made progress on the bone collection case, something would happen to tie us up and divert our attention?"

"I'm not sure yet whether the Tianshi Mansion is involved in the bone-picking case, but after I enter the Taoist Huangting interior location, the mastermind behind the bone-picking case will definitely relax his vigilance and continue to pick up bones and find people. I'm not here in the capital. Please pay more attention to the movements in the capital and the palace during this period of time."

After hearing this, Fatty Li nodded seriously: "Understood!"

"Even if you don't mention this case, Taoist Jin'an, I have a hunch that the other party has caused such a big disturbance this time and so many people have died. The dead include both civilians and folk strangers. The other party will never So easy to stop."

"just in case……"

"I mean what if, the other party's identity really comes from the palace..."

Fatty Li hesitated to speak.

"Remember what I said before, I like to start and end well when doing things for others." Jin An's plain words made Fatty Li understand.

…

As Jin An said, since the Tianshi Mansion has invited the Five Zang Taoist Temple, there will certainly be no shortage of Yujing Golden Tower and Zhenguo Temple.

After Jin An finished his shift and took the exclusive Biyuan carriage back to Wu Zang Taoist Temple, there were already visitors waiting for him for a long time.

"Martial Arts Immortal, Master Xuanlei is here, along with Fairy Qingxi, Master Chiyuan, Uncle Lin and others. Several masters from Zhenguo Temple are also here, discussing scriptures and Zen with Master Zunzhu in the Taoist temple. "The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord has increasingly taken on the role of a door god. Jin An reported the news as soon as he got off the carriage.

Upon hearing that Uncle Lin had finally come out of seclusion, Jin An was happy and quickly entered the Taoist temple to find Uncle Lin.
